    History of the Civil war On stamps This album was created by Dan Pattison for the APS for free use in the public domain. American Philatelic Society©2020 www.stamps.org Events that led up to the start of the Civil War 1820 The Missouri Compromise was a United States statute devised by Henry Clay. It regulated slav- ery on the country’s western territories by prohibiting the practice in the former Lousiana Ter- ritory north of the parallel 36, degrees 30’ north except for the proposed state of Missouri. The compromise was agreed to by both the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States Congress and passed as a law in 1820, under the presidency of James Monroe. The Missouri Compromise was effectively repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, submitted to Congress by Stephen A. Douglas in January 1854. The act opened Kansas Territory and Nebras- ka Territory to slavery and future admission of slave states by allowing white male settlers in those territories to determine through “popular sovereignty” whether they would allow slavery within each territory. Thus, the Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively undermine the prohibition of slavery in the north territory which had been established by the Missouri Compromise. This change was viewed by many abolitionist Northerners as an aggressive, expansionist maneuver by the slave-owning South, and led to the creation of the Republican Party. January 1831 William Lloyd Garrison co-founded a weekly anti-slavery newspaper, The Liberator, with his friend Isaac Knapp. In 1834 subscriptions number about 2000 with three-fourths of whom were blacks, Benefactors paid to have the newspaper distributed to influential statesmen and public officials.

  • The Conflicts and Compromises of Writer and Civil War Soldier Ambrose Bierce
    The Conflicts and Compromises of Writer and Civil War Soldier Ambrose Bierce Keller Bailey Jason Benyousky Geoffrey Hochstetler Ryun Hoffert Junior Division Group Performance Process Paper: 492 Words Topic Chosen We wanted to study the Civil War and find a local connection which led us to famous writer and veteran Ambrose Bierce from Warsaw, Indiana. We started with Bierce’s story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” which intrigued us enough to continue. Research Conducted We conducted our research by reading, interviewing experts, and visiting local historical sites. We met and shared our research two times per week starting in October. We read articles and stories together such as Bierce’s “Chickamauga” and White’s Bushwacking on a Grand Scale. We also created topographical models of Civil War battle sites where Ambrose Bierce fought. In addition, we visited the Kosciusko County Historical Museum, where we read letters from Civil War soldiers in their own handwriting. We visited the known Bierce farmland on a quest to find where his house had been. In May we made a new historical discovery by finding conclusive evidence identifying Bierce’s original homesite Walnut Hill Farm. We found a stereoscope picture marked with Bierce’s brother Gus which helped to identify the house shown as one which still exists! Performance Development We developed our performance by creating scenes outlining the conflicts and compromises of Bierce’s life. We found time-period pictures for backgrounds and built a replica of the Hazen Monument and the landscape of a battlefield. We discovered letters from aspiring poet George Sterling to his mentor Bierce and added them into our performance.

  • Flags of the Confederate States of America
    Flags of the Confederate States of America This article is about historical uses of ags asso- ciated with the Confederate States of America. For modern uses, see Modern display of the Confederate ag. There were three successive national ag designs that served as the ocial national flags of the Confeder- ate States of America (the "Confederate States" or the "Confederacy") during its existence from 1861 to 1865. Since the end of the American Civil War, private and of- cial use of the Confederacy's ags, and of ags with derivative designs, has continued under philosophical, political, cultural, and racial controversy in the United States. These include ags displayed in states; cities, towns and counties; schools, colleges and universities; private organizations and associations; and by individu- als. The state ag of Mississippi features the familiar Con- federate battle ag in the canton, or upper left corner, the only current U.S. state ag to do so. Georgia’s state ag is very similar to the rst national ag of the Confeder- acy, the “Stars and Bars"; a prior design incorporating the Confederate battle ag was in use from 1956 until 2001. Three versions of the flag of the Confederate States of Amer- ica and the Confederate Battle Flag are shown on this printed poster from 1896. The “Stars and Bars” can be seen in the up- 1 National flags per left. Standing at the center are Stonewall Jackson, P. G. T. Beauregard, and Robert E. Lee, surrounded by bust portraits of 1.1 First national flag: “The Stars and Jefferson Davis, Alexander Stephens, and various Confederate army officers, such as James Longstreet and A.
